A very simple guide to install Windows 8 developer preview build on your Mac OS X in a virtual machine in just 4 simple steps. Windows 8 operating system was announced at its BUILD conference in California this week and most of Mac users may want to try it. Well, this simple guide is for you.
STEP 1: Download Windows 8 developer preview build and save it to somewhere you know as you’ll need it in the next steps.
STEP 4: Now navigate to the downloaded Windows 8 developer preview iso file and hit ‘Next’. You’ll now be asked to choose your operating system. Windows 8 is not currently supported, so you’ll need to select Microsoft Windows 7 instead (don’t worry it will install Windows 8). Click ‘Continue’ and then click ‘Finish’.
STEP 2: To get Windows 8 in virtual machine, you’ll need to download and install VMware Fusion 4.0 to run the virtual machine.
STEP 3: Open up VMware Fusion 4.0 you’ve already installed in step 2 and choose ‘Create new virtual machine’ then ‘Continue without disc’, and finally ‘Choose a disk or disk image…’.
Windows 8 will be installed on your Mac in a separated virtual machine and you’ll be able to try it now.
